When a classic car is found stashed away, untouched for many years, it’s called a barn find.When hundreds of them are found, with single-digit odometer readings and the manufacturer’s certificate of origin, it’s called a time capsule.Lambrecht Chevrolet, a mom-and-pop dealership that ran for 50 years before shutting down in 1996, is auctioning off a cache of virtually untouched beauties…

The following is an excerpt from the book Cut the Crap, Get a Job! a New Job Search Process for a New Era. I will be running a series of excerpts from this book over the next few weeks.I like this chapter because there’s relatively little advice out there about phone interviews. I thought this could serve as a reference for all those wondering how to make the most of the phone-related portions of a job search…

Naked With Cash is the year-long series on Consumerism Commentary where seven readers’ households share their financial progress on a monthly basis. I’ve partnered with financial planners who will offer some guidance along the way. This month, the participants and experts are discussing, among other things, retirement…

Editor’s Note: June is wedding season, y’all, and that means lots of couples will be tying the knot, taking their honeymoons, and trying to get through that first year of marriage! I’ve written about newlyweds and finances before, and those posts always seem to get a good response since so many couples handle money differently…

Summer is a great time to get intentional about teaching your kids the value of a dollar. Not only do small summer jobs keep kids busy during the summer months, but they provide them with some of their own pocket cash.

Sometimes called survival bracelets, paracord crafts are popular and easy to make…

We spent last week in Santa Barbara and we loved it. It’s such a beautiful relaxing town and it’s by far our favorite California spot. Of course, we are a little biased because we went to college there. It has changed a lot since I was a student though. I didn’t have any money back then and I was stuck on campus 99% of the time…

Everyone loves to go shopping, but that often leads to horrific disasters like the one a few months ago in a Bangladesh garment factory. When we want the cheapest clothes possible, our buying decisions have a negative effect on those people manufacturing those products for us. On the flip side, sometimes even the most expensive clothes are not produced in factories with conditions any better…

Reverse mortgages have gained popularity in recent years among people in the retirement phase of their life. Reverse mortgages are attractive to retirees living on fixed incomes because they don’t have to make any payments while they’re living in their house.
However, it is important to remember that although you’re not making payments, a reverse mortgage is a loan and at some point it will have to be paid back – along with fees and interest…

Do you ever feel like something is hovering over your shoulder? Like something is looming behind you that you cannot explain? I certainly have.
It is not a menacing presence but more of a reminder of financial “demons of my past” as I like to call it…

This post is from staff writer Holly Johnson. Ever since Forrest Fenn revealed that he had hidden a treasure chest worth an estimated $2 million in the mountains north of Sante Fe, much of America’s southwest has been in a frenzy.

Although I didn’t want to sell my house, I was in a peculiar stage in my life where I was just coming off my WARN Act income after leaving my job of 11 years…

Cars. They serve a simple purpose, to get one from Point A to Point B. While their purpose is pretty straightforward, the bells and whistles that come with them are anything but. From heated seats to cars that parallel park themselves, features don’t come cheap.
Cars are also the most expensive depreciating asset most of us will ever own…

Lets try this exercise again, but switch from electricity to a different utility. The mean spent on water in the U.S. per year, is $547 per 2-person household.
For as much water as Americans use – 80 – 100 gallons per person per day (29,000 – 36,500 per year), that might seem pretty cheap (and it is)…

Pension plans are in dire straits in Canada. The number of workers covered by defined benefit pension plans has fallen by over 30 per cent in just the last decade. This trend doesn’t look to change anytime soon.
What’s behind this steep decline? Low interest rates combined with volatile investment returns are partially to blame and have led to employers rethinking their pension plans…

Under Enemy Attack
All the blogs that use Nuts & Bolts Media have been under a DDOS attack for the last 24 hours.  Some bad people based in Asia have been flooding the server with tens of thousands of hits every second and blocking the real readers (one of my sons and my cousin) from getting on the site…

Life is stressful. Whether it’s your job, school, living situation, or something else, there are an endless things that make us stressed out. There are also an endless number of (expensive) ways to relieve stress: vacations, a new home entertainment system, or a night at an expensive restaurants…

Diogenes of Sinope was a philosopher in ancient Greece who was a cynic in the classical sense of the word. The classical view of cynicism was that, as Wikipedia nicely states it, “the purpose of life was to live a life of virtue in agreement with nature. This meant rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, sex, and fame, and by living a simple life free from all possessions…
